Play aggressive. Don't do what everyone expects you to do! Roll out, go deep, something unexpected, not right up the middle. I mean really Gibbs, how many times, late in the game, to protect the lead, have you run the ball 3 times and punted..... let me tell you A LOT!! When will we learn. Great job Gruden on being aggresive on the 2-point conversion.... I gurrantee, Gibbs would never do that!

Good teams do what they want no matter what. I heard Jake Jacoby on sports talk 980 this morning say that back in the day they would come to the line and tell randy white "the play is coming over you" and then proceed to do it and make the yardage. That was a good team and thats what they did. This skins team is a so-so team that may make the playoffs.
